- Jeremy Guthrie, 41, was arrested for driving drunk in New Mexico in 2022
- Bodycam footage shows the moment cops found six children in his vehicle
- Guthrie was charged with raping a teen and is suspected of having impregnated her when she was just 12
Jeremy Guthrie, 42, was stopped by New Mexico state police last year after he was seen swerving in and out of lanes in in Albuquerque, but what officers found was much darker than a DWI case.
Recently unearthed police cam video of the arrest shows a sloppy and slurring Guthrie claiming the six children in his vehicle are 'his friends.'
He is seen struggling to find his documents when he's pulled over at about 1am on July 5, 2022.
As he searches for his wallet, the officer points out it is on his lap.
'Sorry, just a little bit nervous,' Guthrie replies.
'So was I, with the way you're driving,' says the cop, before noticing the vehicle is packed with children.
'Who are these kids to you? the officer asks.
'This is my friend,' Guthrie says about the girl sitting in the passenger seat.
When he claims she is 18, the officer fires back; 'That girl is not 18, trust me, she don't look 18,' he tells Guthrie before asking him to exit the vehicle.
Once Guthrie exits his car, the officer points out the zipper of his jeans is undone.
Guthrie then continues to deny he has had anything to drink, and insists the kids 'are just his friends' when questioned.
An officer then goes to speak to the children as another cop performs sobriety tests on Guthrie.
Guthrie is then arrested for DWI, shortly before one of the kids' fathers shows up to pick him up.
He was charged with DWI, having an open container, and six counts of child abuse.
Following the arrest, a more complex situation emerged, and Guthrie was charged with with raping a 13-year-old girl and her twin sister for more than a year - and getting one of them pregnant.
Guthrie reportedly met the girls on social media and communicated with them through Snapchat and Instagram.
He is suspected of raping at least one other girl, as reported by the Albuquerque Journal.
The twins and four other teens were in the car when Guthrie was arrested. They were returned to their homes the night of Guthrie's arrest, before a woman called police to report that Guthrie had been raping her granddaughter.
The woman told police Guthrie impregnated the girl when she was 12 and she miscarried. She claimed to not have known about it until Guthrie's DWI arrest.
The twins' legal guardians reportedly said a man picked up the girls, took them to his house and gave them alcohol before his DWI arrest.
One of the sisters allegedly said Guthrie had been raping her regularly 'over a lengthy time span' and had told she and her twin sister he loved them and wanted to have a daughter with her.
She also reportedly told police Guthrie used methamphetamine and cocaine and owned several guns.
After Guthrie's arrest, the twins' grandmother claimed he was still contacting the girls behind bars.
Instagram messages shared with KRQE News 13 show someone claiming to be Guthrie asking one of the girls for money. In one message he claimed to be using a guard's phone.
Guthrie plead no content to is still waiting trial for allegedly raping one of the twins.
He remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque.
